Afraid to step on the scale

Monday, March 11, 2013

I used to weigh pretty regularly. I have not been eating really well and so I have been avoiding the scale. I don't really want to know what it has to say because I can see the little spots on my body where weight is coming back... not much but enough that I know the scale will not make me happy. I guess that's a sign that I need to recommit and not have crazy splurge-filled weekends like this past weekend. Bad idea to splurge too much. I was so full yesterday that I had trouble getting to sleep last night.

It'll be ok. Just start over. Don't get on the scale if it will discourage you, but if you're like me, you'll want to get on, and get square with it, so you know where you stand and start again. Just don't give up! Just a week can make such a difference. I get on only once a week so that I don't get discouraged from day to day but I can still see my progress. Plus it takes a week for your true weight to come through anyway. I'm sure its not as bad as you think.
